HARARE---Stand-in skipper
Virat Kohli played a captain s
innings and Ambati Rayudu
made a half-century on debut
as India cruised to a six-wicket
win over Zimbabwe in the first
one-day international yester-
day.
Kohli hit 115 off 108 balls in the
dominant performance of the
game as India went to 230-4 and
overtook Zimbabwe s modest
228-7 with over five overs remain-
ing. Kohli was replacing regular
captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni,
who was rested for the five-game
limited-overs series.
Kohli and Rayudu (63) com-
bined for a 159-run partnership
for the third wicket to convinc-
ingly take the game away from
Zimbabwe, which had been held
to 228-7 after India won the toss
and bowled.
Kohli flashed 13 fours and a six
in his century, dominating the
bowlers almost from the start.
Rayudu hit four boundaries in his
more patient 63 from 84 balls,
which still saw him seize his
chance to impress with India
looking to try out some new play-
ers following a busy recent sched-
ule for the top-ranked one-day
team.
Legspinner Amit Mishra took
3-43 on a turning pitch at Harare
Sports Club to lead India s bowl-
ing effort. The 50-over world
champion and recent Champions
Trophy winner was in control
throughout with a disciplined
bowling performance followed up
by a calm chase anchored by form
batsman Kohli.
Only offspinner Prosper Utseya
had any major return for Zim-
babwe s bowlers with his 2-34
off 10 overs, including the wickets
of Kohli and Suresh Raina, who
was out for a duck.
But by then, Kohli had taken
India to within 12 runs of Zim-
babwe s score and debutant
Rayudu eventually saw the
tourists home and to a winning
start on tour with a flashing four
through extra cover.
Pakistan-born batsman Sikan-
dar Raza top-scored for Zimbab-
we with 82 for his first ODI half-
century and Elton Chigumbura
made a quick-fire 43 not out from
No 7, but the home batsmen never
got away from India s bowlers.

SYDNEY---Mickey Arthur has
failed to reach agreement with
Cricket Australia after the first
day of conciliation meetings
in his claim for unfair dis-
missal.
Arthur, a South African who
in 2011 became the first foreign
head coach of Australia s top
team, is asking for $4 million
in compensation or his job back
after being fired last month on
the eve of the Ashes series in
England. He was replaced by
former test batsman Darren
Lehmann.
After more than five hours
of talks at the Fair Work Com-
mission failed to reach an agree-
ment Wednesday, both sides
agreed resume negotiations on
July 31.
Arthur says, "Although we
didn t come to an outcome
today, I m pretty confident that
there was enough goodwill in
the room for us to continue
talks next week." (AP)
